Nostalgia – back to nature in a tree house

I was reading a post on Environmental Graffiti and saw this very cool treehouse (concept hotel) created by a Swedish design company – Tham & Videgard Hansson.

treehouse

Difficult to see? Intentional. It is camouflaged with the surrounding forest using mirrors on the exterior walls. Couldn’t you just imagine hanging out there as a kid. How to get up there is easy - a rope ladder or bridge. And, it is large enough (4m x 4m x 4m) for a bed, kitchenette, bath and living area. The demographic? My guess – the kid in all of us

Let's build one in our backyards. We can span it so it is on both our properties and share the cost. Do you think we can get power to it and Rock Band?

Maybe your techie DH could begin work on a geo-thermal energy source...and we'll be set. If all else fails, we'll hook up the bike trainer to a generator! :)
